Om 06:30 uur opstaan, twee keer trainen, tussendoor naar school en ’s avonds weer thuis: zo zag de jeugd van Sanna Veerman (24) er jarenlang uit. Het bracht haar tot de wereldtop van het turnen, en dit weekend op het WK turnen in haar huidige woonplaats Rotterdam. Toch zou ze het voor een toekomstig kind anders willen.
Waar sommige mensen er helemaal niks van moeten hebben, zijn anderen er juist het hele jaar mee bezig: Halloween. In de Vlaardingse Broekpolder is een gemoedelijke spooktocht voor wat scoutingkinderen uitgegroeid tot een groot en griezelig evenement met 4 duizend bezoekers.

In the three weeks since a health worker’s death in Siberia, officials have stonewalled the WHO – setting a worrying precedent for future pandemics
Is there a plague outbreak in Russia? If the answer were a clear yes, there shouldn’t be much reason to worry. With swift medical intervention, plague is treatable. But in the nearly three weeks since a worker at a Siberian plague research unit died of a mysterious respiratory illness, state officials have been consistently tight-lipped about what happened and whether there were any further cases.
It is this uncertainty that has the World Health Organization (WHO) and international community worried: partly because there is a – very small – risk of an outbreak, and partly because it is yet another warning that the international coordination we rely on to prevent pandemics is fraying along with the rest of international politics, and could easily fail to protect us in the future.

The US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has denounced the settler attack that left the Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine badly beaten and needing surgery as a “despicable act of terror” and called for the arrest and prosecution of those responsible.
Levine, an award-winning journalist who lives in Israel, was set upon last Friday by masked Israeli settlers who used clubs and other weapons to attack Palestinian people attempting to harvest their olives in occupied West Bank towns.

Young people have been taking to the streets in countries across Europe, including Spain, France and Portugal, to protest over their unhappiness at the state of schools and the wider cost of living crisis.
In France, high school pupils have clashed with police in often violent protests over long hours, missing teachers, dilapidated classrooms and an opaque university admissions system. Pupils routinely miss months of teaching due to unfilled staff absences.

The French government was in crisis talks on Sunday after one of the most violent days of unrest in years left public buildings burned, hundreds of shops destroyed and looted, and more than 2000 people arrested in cities across the country.
Politicians on the left and right called for the resignation of the interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, after the government appeared to have been caught by surprise by the scale of violence as state buildings were stormed and torched, bus stops smashed, roads barricaded and shops broken into and destroyed.

Bij Albert Heijn hadden ze geen stokbrood. Ook geen afbak-baguette, wat ik een geweldig woord vind. In ‘afbak-baguette’ vinden Frankrijk en Nederland elkaar.

WAINWRIGHT (ANP) - Niets wijst erop dat de recente zware brand op een militaire basis in het westen van Canada het gevolg is van een terreuraanslag. Dat zei de Canadese minister van Defensie David McGuinty zondag tegen CBC News, nadat het ministerie van Defensie al een vergelijkbare verklaring had afgegeven.
Meer details over het aantal slachtoffers gaf hij niet. "De omvang van de gevolgen wordt nog altijd geëvalueerd. De prioriteit gaat nu naar het verschaffen van hulp aan de getroffenen en aan het informeren van hun naasten."
Zaterdagavond werd al bekend dat er bij het zware incident op de legerbasis van Wainwright, in de provincie Alberta, doden en gewonden zijn gevallen.
